Aria tried not to shiver as she realized he still held on to the power of the gods. There was nothing she could do if he decided to turn the power on her. She could only pray he would not.
His off the wall comment about not being welcome among the dead made Aria smile. It was't the dead that didn't want them to exist, or rather him, but monsters. But it wasn't malicious as he made it sound. They were hungry and hunger breeds aggression in animals, it's instinct. It could not help itself no more than a lion could help itself. But she didn't voice her opinion, really what was the point.
That was the one question Aria feared most. What do you tell someone who's just been attacked by a monster. Yeah, you were attacked by a Ijiraq. The next questions would lead to how do you know and what the hell are you. It was bad enough that he already claimed her sword was ridiculous. Her ridiculous sword just saved his ass.
Aria wanted to stew in the less than satisfying emotions, but in the company of a civilian it was probably best not to. But what was she to say to answer that question.
With a deep breathe Aria decided to speak in semi-truths. "It was a monster of course."
Well not semi-truths, it was the truth and rather obvious... paybacks a bitch.
Aria couldn't help but smile. "I suspect it was an Ijirah of myth and legend."
Aria knew what was next. "Though I didn't think they were real."
Aria lied. She looked around anxiously. It couldn't have gotten far. But where would it go? She wasn't afraid it would return, but faking the emotion was relatively easy. She didn't want to let him know that monsters of all sorts actually lived and breathed in today's world.
Aria shivered again from the cold, her jacket flung wide as a gust of wind blew by. She wrapped her self in the warmth of the lining despite the fact that a monster had just been here moments ago. "It was hungry."
She smiled, "You must be on the menu tonight."
But that also made Aria worry and the smiled faded quickly. Why had it attacked him? "I wonder why it attacked."
She didn't expect an answer that meant anything, actually she expected to hear her own statement back, it was hungry. She sighed, "Don't answer that."
"You okay? You never did answer me."
Not that it mattered anyway, he seemed back to his normal self as well as she could tell as he grasped the power. And her thoughts went back full circle.
